for parent

The essential elements of character building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship and six core principles: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship. We will lead by example.

I therefore agree:

1. I will remember that children participate to have fun and that the game is for youth, not adults.
2. I will inform the coach of any physical disability or ailment that may affect the safety of my child or the safety of others.
3. I will learn the rules of the game and the policies of the league.
4. I (and my guests) will be a positive role model for my child and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy, and by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials, directors and spectators at every game, practice or sporting event.
5. I (and my guests) will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, director, coach, player, or parent such as booing and taunting, refusing to shake hands, or using profane language or gestures.
6. I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participants for making a
   mistake or losing a competition.
7. I will emphasize skill development and practices and how they benefit my child.
8. I will respect the officials and their authority during games and will never
   question, discuss, or confront officials or coaches at the game field, and will
   take time to speak with coaches at an agreed upon time and place.
9. I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs,
   tobacco, and alcohol, and I will refrain from their use at all sports events.
10. I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and
    practices, unless I am one of the official coaches of the team.
11. I will not enter the field during practices or games, unless I am one of the official coaches of the team.
